' PEN AND PENCIL HOLDER.

Application filed December 13, 1926. Serial No. 154,532.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in pens and pencils, and has for its primary object to provide an article of this character that is in the general form of a small rectangular shaped plate having means at one side thereof wherebv the plate may be pinned to the coat, shirt, apron, or the like, so as to facilitate the hanging of pens and pencils thereon by reasonof the usual clips associated-with said pens and pencils.

A further and important object is to provide such a pencil holder wherein the spring clips carried by conventional designs of pens and pencils will frictionally engage the holder so as to negative any liability of the articles becoming accidentally detached therefrom,

Other objects will become apparent as the nature of the invention is better understood the same comprising the novel form, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.

characters indicate corresponding throughout the several views:

Figure 1' is a front elevation of the holder attached to a garment, and with which is associated a conventional fountain pen and pencil.

Figure 2 is a transverse section through the holder per se, a pen being fragmentarily disclosed in dotted lines as supported thereon, and

Figure. 3 is a rear elevation of.the holder.

Now having particular reference to the drawing. my novel holder consists of a small rectangular shaped plate 5 preferably of a 40 rigid but inexpensive metal and having upon the front face thereof a strip of felt or other suitable cloth 6, so that the pens or pencils should be supported upon the holderwill not rub against the metallic face and thereby 4 become damaged.

The rear surface of the late 5 is formed with longitudinally extending teeth 7 while parts In the drawing wherein, like referenceure 2.

In actual practice the holder is pinned to w the coat, shirt, apron, or the like in order that pens or pencils as indicated in Figure 1 in the dotted lines of Figure 2 may be hung thereon by engaging the usual spring clasps of the pens and pencils over the back side of the holder, which will frictionally bind the pens and pencils to the protected surface of the plate in an obvious manner. 05

In view of the foregoing description when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawing it will at once be apparent that I have provided a highly novel, sim le, and eflicient holder for pens and pencils that is well adapted for all the purposes heretofore designated, even though I have here'- in shown and described the article as consisting of certain detail structural elements, it is. nevertheless to be understood that some changes may be made therein without effecting the spirit and scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:- v

In a holder for pens and pencils provided with spring clasps, a plate member, means upon the rear surface of the plate whereby the same may be secured to a garment, said pens and pencils adapted to be arranged vertically upon the outer surface of the plate and to have their spring clips arranged over the rear surface of said plate in a manner and for a purpose described, and spaced longitudinal teeth upon the rear surface of the plate for providing a friction surface-for said spring clips.

In testimony whereof I aflix my si ature.
